I've been trying to write the pattern of values from a multislider of any size, repeated out until there are 128 values total, to a 128 sample Gen~ Data object, but haven't been able to do so successfully. Though I can get the multislider values, repeat them until there are 128 and format them properly for a Poke operation, and I can also write individual samples to the Data sucessfully, automating the process of writing all 128 of my values results in unexpected values.

If someone wouldn't mind taking a look at my patch and advising on where I could be going wrong, or other ways of achieving this, I'd be grateful.

I recommend using a buffer~ to do this, it would be much simpler. Write your multislider data into a buffer~ that is referenced via [buffer] in the gen~:

(The only reason not to use a buffer~ is if you really need your data as 64-bit floating point resolution. In that case you would need to write the data into the gen~ one sample at a time using audio objects in the patcher, as your patch was doing. This can be tricky because of timing of messages. Unfortunately I can't think of a Max object that has list-input, signal-output. I guess mainly because buffer~ usually does that job...)
